Yorkie Posted Friday at 16:29 Share Posted Friday at 16:29 32 minutes ago, Andy said: Weird thing to say given the clubs involved, but I'm actually worried about complacency for this one. I don't think I've ever gone into a game against these with the national expectation being that we would completely tea bag them, but that's how it feels, even from their own fans. Slightly worried that we'll botch it. I tend to feel like this before every game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a horrible slimey fucker but he’s absolutely outstanding as a footballer. Way too good to be left out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The complete, elite midfielder. 34 G&A. 6 more than any other midfielder in any of the top 5 leagues. Your midfield is excellent, but Fernandes is head and shoulders above any of them and he walks into any side. I'm just enjoying him while he's here. Have a sickening feeling this could be his last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JUICE690 Posted Friday at 17:59 Share Posted Friday at 17:59 (edited) Fernandes is quality. His eye for a pass is outstanding, really dangerous. Goodness knows where they would be without him. I'd have him here in a heart beat, personally. Guy must be gutted to be playing in this version on Man Utd (generous wages aside).

Crimson Cardigan Posted Friday at 18:13 Share Posted Friday at 18:13 Man Utd would be long gone without Fernandes. He singlehandedly saves them every other game. Including in Lyon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
